NEW YORK, NY - NOVEMBER 01: The midtown skyline remains lit as Lower Manhattan remains mostly without power on November 1, 2012 in New York City. The storm has claimed at least 16 lives in the United States, and has caused massive flooding across much of the Atlantic seaboard. U.S. President Barack Obama has declared the situation a "major disaster" for large areas of the U.S. east coast, including New York City.
